I'm going to peek into your code, as I wrote something similar called WallX. Did you run into (and fix) the 'Vista needs some time to wake up' problem?

hu, whats vista ?

nop, sorry, never heard of such a problem.....

I had an issue creating a file and setting the wallpaper immediately after starting Vista. My application seemed to freeze for a while, and then suddenly continue. I could never figure out what was exactly the problem.

File does not exist // Datei existiert nicht?
